STAR WARS MEMORABILIA
TO BE WON IN CINEMA
All participants will qualify to win
the Star Wars BB8 Droid
The brilliant and pitiless Quentin
Tarantino now gives us a vast Amer-
ican epic set mostly in just one room.
In fact, the various sections and cor-
ners of that room start to feel as dis-
tant as cities or deserts. At one stage,
a character suggests dividing this
space to represent the Unionist North
and Confederate South, and it s not
too much of a stretch to imagine,
although the slippery brutal amoral-
ism of one and all is such that trib-
al-loyalty partition was never going
to work.
Tarantino has created another breath-
takingly stylish and clever film, a
Jacobean western, intimate yet some-
how weirdly colossal, once again releas-
ing his own kind of unwholesome
crazy-funny-violent nitrous oxide into
the cinema auditorium for us all to
inhale. Moreover, Tarantino now makes
a serious star of Walton Goggins, giving
a hilarious performance as the deeply
unreliable Chris Mannix, soi-disant
Sheriff Elect of Red Rock, Wyoming.
And Ennio Morricone has composed a
score which is as sinuous and catchy
as anything he has written: a theme
with a tense and gloomy tread, coolly
cranking up the tension.
The Booker-winning novelist Marlon
James has this year been called "Taran-
tinoesque" and what The Hateful Eight
does is remind you that this comparison
is not just about the violence or the
energy: it s about the writing. Tarantino
is just a superlative movie writer, glo-
rying in protracted dialogue scenes for
which other film-makers don t have
the attention-span, in scenes unapolo-
getically described as "Chapters". His
writing delivers line-by-line pleasure
and impact and he is also a master of
structural audacity, with some superb
flashback-rewinds and POV-shifts.
The setting is the unhealed Old West
after the Civil War: a freezingly wintry
and mountainous terrain. Kurt Russell
plays the bewhiskered John Ruth, a
bounty hunter who is in a stage-coach
pulled by a six-horse team, conducting
a prisoner across difficult country in a
gathering blizzard to the town of Red
Rock. This is the fiercely unrepentant
criminal Daisy Domergue, played by
Jennifer Jason Leigh. On the road, they
encounter another bounty hunter:
Major Marquis Warren, a Unionist vet-
eran with an unhappy war record, but
proud of having once received a per-
sonal letter from Abraham Lincoln, a
document he keeps on his person at
all times. Warren has a couple of crim-
inal-corpses which he needs to cash
in at Red Rock. He is played by Samuel
L Jackson and this is another glorious
comic performance from Jackson: glit-
tering of eye, steely of will, vengeful of
manner; his presence is as potent as a
nugget of sodium. The ingratiating good
ol boy Chris Mannix also makes an
appearance.
The weather worsens and they find
themselves needing a stopover at a
roadhouse called Minnie s Haberdash-
ery; here they encounter ageing South-
ern General Sandy Smithers (Bruce
Dern) taciturn loner Joe Cage (Michael
Madsen), and a insinuatingly charmless
Englishman called Oswaldo Mowbray
(Tim Roth). Somehow, these ruthless
strangers will have to make the best of
things until the road clears. But are
these people strangers to each other?
Why is there a jelly bean on the floor?
Is something else going on?
The Hateful Eight are snowed in
together like Agatha Christie characters
in a country house, or indeed the Big
Brother house. But unlike an Agatha
Christie story---but very much like, say,
Reservoir Dogs---there is no notional
authority figure to exert control over
everyone. The only authority is violence
and superior firepower, or the superior
firepower of talk---the threat of violence.
